Future Aim-er??

Hi im new to this forum

Im currently a sophmore and im doing a foriegn exhcnage program next year, my junior year.
I REALLY want to apply for the aim program but im afraid that my exchange wil negativly affect my changes to get in.

Do you think this is true?

I don't see how it would. As far as the recommendations, you should do whatever it says on the application. It can all be done on line. Good luck. PS work on the spelling for the application.

I don't see how it would either....

I would get the letters of recommendation.. my daughter ask a few teachers and I think she submitted 4 or so with her package... She loved the AIM program and was honored to be an Aimster last year.

Good luck!
